Might we actually benefit from late goals which change the course of games this year? Late winner from Raff on Saturday and Inman just bagged an 85th minute equaliser (2-2) tonight. It would be a good monkey to get off our backs. | |

What a comeback from 0-2 down!
It's only a friendly but ……………... | |

Calvin, Inman and Ollie all finding the net in the friendlies can only be good. Hendo and Alby must be due some - don't mind if they wait for the league programme. Only friendlies as you say but gives some hope. Be interesting to read reports from those who went. | | | |

Really encouraging is that, comng back from a 2 goal deficit against a strong Championship side. As you say, only a friendly, but............... | |

Encouraging result.
Finnerty came on too, but still no sign of Dooley. | |

Supposedly Dooley is injured. | | | |

At the game I asked someone who probably knows more than the average supporter and he said Dooley was injured. | | | |

Cheers.
So again it’s left to rumour and supposition to garner info. | |

A weekly update of the managers views on all things dale, including injury updates would be great. Many other clubs do this | |

Don’t get me wrong, I fully appreciate that sometimes revealing the unavailability of a player can offer a tactical advantage to the opposition - but this is pre-season.
Fans will be naturally curious about Dooley, as he is a new signing. | |

We played really well tonight. Got in lots of good positions only for the final cross to let us down, but even so Boro couldn’t have complained if we’d scored five. Cannon excelled at RWB and Adshead was excellent in midfield. Not sure why we played Henderson so deep with all the other options we have in midfield, as you’d want him in the box when we create situations like we did tonight.
For me it’s all about the formation, yes we will get caught out at times wide but the way everyone utilises the gaps on the pitch by the way we push forward is very encouraging - it’s really noticeable how the wide central defenders will go forward when required too. Also, we have the option of two big men late on and it’s definitely an issue for defenders.
Apart from the fact the fixture board still said Hull, a most productive evening. | |

Great performance all round tonight. Hilly is you g to have some selection headaches next year. Adshead did himself no harm with a solid performance with a host of scouts watching. | | | |

Encouraging result!
And I agree with OP Dalei, hopefully this might provide an element of psychological boost after all the late goals we’ve conceded over the past two seasons, often undeservedly. A few years ago we scored tonnes of late goals, I think it was the centenary season, and there was a feeling that if we weren’t winning going into the last few minutes of games then we shouldn’t worry. I’d love to get that back again. | | | |

Nthle will never score for Rochdale. Such is fate.
I won’t forget his overhead effort this evening for a long time however, has goal of the season ever been won in a pre-season game? | |
| |
| Late goals on 22:16 - Jul 24 with 8609 views | brady |
It would have capped a brilliant performance | | | |

Heard tonight that Delaney has a knock and Dooley a short term injury. With no pre season as such though he'll be playing catch up with the rest of the squad. | | | |

Kosi was excellent tonight, I thought. Gives competition in two or three positions.
And the Calvin/Jim/Wilbs "love train" at the late corner was comically epic in confusing the Boro defence (and possibly themselves). :) | | | |

Did you catch where any of the scouts were from? | | | |
| Late goals on 22:29 - Jul 24 with 8430 views | DaleiLama |
I wonder if we've practiced defending the love train. Cue the Benny Hill music  | |

Great game tonight. Really entertaining.
My thoughts are Perkins is a massive acquisition. He's like a Shaun Reid x 10. Nasty, ugly, combative, but can play the game.
At times we are sluggish in our movement of the ball, but when we put pace on our passes and move quickly we look like we've got goals in us. And defensively we look more collective, but poor Jim, as much as we love him, does give me collywobbles at times!
EDIT: Joe looks like a new man. Quicker, stronger and more eager. [Post edited 24 Jul 2018 22:40]

Pullis was watching and some guys with Liverpool logos a few other familiar faces not sure where they were From | | | |

Pulis is Middlesbrough’s manager! | |

Agree about Joe he's looked very sharp both times I've seen him so far in preseason. | |

He wasn't watching a few seconds after Ollie's winner :)))))))) | | | |

Let’s not get too carried away just yet. If my memory serves me correct, as it often doesn’t, I’m pretty sure we had a decent pre-season last year which upped all our expectations, and we all know how that transpired...! | |
